I also want to learn to make clothes; I have tried a few times but I didn't started with easy patterns so I have got frustrated and given up; but this year I am going to take it slow and have a good go.
On a personal note; I want to spend some more effort on my degree to get it finished (so I get more sewing time later on!); I want to spend more Mummy daughter time, now Maddi is older there is more we can do together and I am really looking forward to that.
2013 was a rollercoaster ride for us as a family; but there were still some fantastic times.
We spent a wonderful two weeks in America with my dear friend Denise who made us so welcome and Maddi had an amazing birthday in the US.
I learnt to sew; something I thought I would never beable to do.
We got and lost our dearest puppy Dino (he is having a fantastic new life with his trainer though and is very happy) it was the best decision but a heart breaking one.
My little baby grew up so much into a fantastic ball of fun and games. (Mines the one on the right)
Maddi has started her new school and is doing well.
And best news of all is I made my first quilt!! I can't wait to show you; it was definately a learning curve; lots of little mistakes; things I need to work on like my piecing precision, binding and pre-washing fabrics so the don't run! But here is my masterpiece!
I used a V & Co pattern which you can find here; I love the pop of orange; it is going in Greg's study which is doubling as a spare room. Lots more projects there to come. I love the bubbly backing
I am having so much fun sewing things for the house and I am looking forward to a new year and new beginnings. Not much more I can say now but more to come. Thank you 2013 for the laughter and the tears but also bringing me my own proper little family, roll on 2014.
Thanks for stopping by.
Mummy and Maddi
